Well, I suppose if the battery was made of nothing but lithium, (which it isn't) one pound of material for a half ton of ore and overburden isn't bad. Whoever created that poster should try mining for gold sometime.

There is a couple of problems with the universal GM skateboard Platform which they claimed to invent back in 2002 or so.
-First, the amount of chassis flex has to be enormous on one plane and thus it has to be designed very solid and heavy.
-Second, crumple zones.

Steel can be quite flexible
